Dewey & LeBoeuf Leaves San Francisco

San Francisco is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Neither would Dewey & LeBoeuf. The firm just consolidated its San Francisco office into its Palo Alto office. A firm statement went out this morning:

Dewey & LeBoeuf has decided to centralize its Bay Area presence by relocating the lawyers and staff in its San Francisco office to its Silicon Valley office.

If you had to choose between the still thriving tech sector or the whatever the hell is left in San Francisco, it would be a pretty easy decision.

A tipster reported last week that this move isn’t a huge upheaval for the firm:

The office has been in steady decline for several years, and has shrunk from more than 40 attorneys to less than 20.

All attorneys and staff in the San Francisco office will be able to move over to Palo Alto. For most people, “commuting” is not going to be a big deal given the general job market.

DEWEY & LEBOEUF — STATEMENT — SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE RELOCATION

Dewey & LeBoeuf has decided to centralize its Bay Area presence by relocating the lawyers and staff in its San Francisco office to its Silicon Valley office. Combining two locations that are in relatively close geographic proximity will help the firm build critical mass in one central location in the Bay Area and gain greater access to growing business opportunities in Silicon Valley. All attorneys and staff members in San Francisco have been asked to relocate to Silicon Valley.

The San Francisco office will remain open for the foreseeable future to support clients and attorneys currently conducting business in San Francisco. Once the office move is completed, Dewey & LeBoeuf will continue providing service to clients in the San Francisco metropolitan

area from the Silicon Valley office.
